User talk:Brennan Haley

Welcome!
Hello, Brennan Haley, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Brendan the Navigator, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article.&#32;Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * Best practices for editors with close associations
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! Doug Weller talk 07:11, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

Basically you can't promote yourself here

Hello, I'm 49ersBelongInSanFrancisco. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to Brendan the Navigator have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. 49ersBelongInSanFrancisco (talk) 06:01, 19 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi,
 * I understand that Wikipedia isn't to be used for advertisement or promotion. But I see links from Wikipedia articles to published books frequently. Is there another reason why I can't link my book to the Wikipedia page for Saint Brendan?
 * My book is fiction but deeply researched over a long period of time and I feel it provides a great deal of information about this subject not posted elsewhere, so it would be a legitimate resource for people to educate themselves further on this subject. Thanks for your consideration, I'm just now thinking to look for your message to me about why my links have been taken down. Your patience is much appreciated.

 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because your account is being used only for advertising or promotion. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 06:04, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
